It was our pleasure to have you with us for the 9th installment of the Prague Media Point Conference!

 

Artificial intelligence has come with a power to dramatically shaken our economic, labour, and information systems. For the media sphere, it means yet another drastic turn on its bumpy ride towards any prospect of renewed stability. But unlike many other such turns, AI may provide professionals with a reactive (and creative) potential on a more egalitarian and therefore democratic basis. With the hindsight of around two years of widely accessible AI tools, Prague Media Point assessed the impact on and responses of the media sphere and journalism to the two-vowel phenomenon. Be that on the job market, school curricula, newsroom policies, media regulation, journalistic solidarity, and beyond.

​

​

The program revolved around three principal areas:

​​​

1) Use of AI in European newsrooms and media agencies

Where we are, what’s worked well so far, cultural/generational divides

​

2) Leadership and educational strategies in the age of AI

Responding to challenges, media development, adaptability constraints

​

3) AI, media ethics, and diversity

Protecting free information space, upholding standards, sustainability, and trust
